WITH ONE SHOT,
The Remarkable Experience of
A Veteran Pot Hunter.

The dullness of Sunday can some
times be enlivened by the story teller,
when all other diversions fail. There
was little party lolling around the
hall in Second street stable yester.
day afternoon, when an old fellow
dropped in out of the sun to get a
cool drink of water. He expressed
himself to the crowd as being extreme.
ly thirsty, having just finished for his
dinner, a goodly share of two squir-
rels and FIVE hawks he had killed Sat-
urday in about an hours hunt. Some
one expressed disgustful surprise at
the hawk diet, but the old man re-
marked that the other fellow didn't
know what was good, if he couldn't
eat hawk.
He went back to the well and
drank about quart of well water,
and then having returned to the
front proceeded to make a statement,
which everybody listened, but not all
of them believed exactly. Said he:
Talking about hawks, you might
not believe it. but | killed them two
squirrel and them air hawks, in two
shots. But that arnt nothing. Me
and another fellow went down here on
Flat Creek woods not so very long
ago, and was browsing around for
game. We hadn't saw anything fit
ting to shoot at for about an hour,
when all at oncet, [ seen way up in a
sycamore, sitting on a knot about fifty
feet from the ground a squirrel. My
pardner and me made a bet of dol
lar that / couldn't phaze the little fell
low, but | thought [ could. So l
just up-I had a good gun, and
pretty tolerably well loaded-and
and blazed away. You may not
believe it, gentlemen, but it's scan
dalous fact, all the same, that after
the smoke cleared away, there was
laying on the ground right in front of
us, just thirteen squirrels. a big owl,
and wild turkey. | commenced to
gather them up and my pardner
skipped out with the money. But /
got it afterwards, anyhow. That was
the biggest bag of game ever | got at
one shot, gentlemen, sure as shooting.

for another drink, and the paralyzed

daughters predicament. The complaint
was read TO the Parks creature by
Justice Fisher, who said that, owing
to the gravity of the charge, he would
be compelled to postpone the prelimi.
nary examination until a later day.
He would therefore set the cause
down, for trial, for next Saturday at
9 o'clock q. m. If Mrs. Parks could
furnish a bond in $500 to appear,
well and good. If she could not, she
would be sent to jail. She did not
produce the bail, and Capt. Jackson
turned her over TO the authorities at
the jail.
Shortly afterward, before Judge
Fisher, John Mooney, police
officer, swore to an infor-
nation against Anderson for
open, gross and notorious adultery
with Clara Parks. Being in the Gus
tody of the police, no bond was re-
quired for his appearance, the under
standing being that if Mrs. Anderson
paid the s25 fine, hen husband would
be at once arrested under the new
and more serious charge.

ested in such matters, when it comes

Got Married i'm the Nation.

A handsome young couple, accom-
panied by the lady's brother, arrived
in Sedalia by the midnight train
Tuesday, and registered at the Pacific
House as, NV. ID. Arson and sister,"
and wv. j. Morrow" all of Aullyille.
They left next day for Chetopa. Kan
sas, where they procured a carriage
and went into the Nati5n. Here Mr..
Morrow and w. ID. Anson's sister
were duly and neatly married. The
party arrived in Sedalia again this
morning, and took up quarters with
the kindly Mrs. Burkhart. 1t seems
that there was opposition of one kind
or another to the young folks getting
married, so Miss Arson, who has been
teaching school in her section. with
her brother, who was friendly 10 the
match, made flying trip, as stated,
to the Indian country, accom- panied
by the happy Morrow, and every
thing up to date, turned out, as it
should do, in such cases. The yonng
folks will return to Aullville this.

TRIED III On ANOTHER ONE.
The Wichita Williams Seeks Vie
tins Among the Suckers.

The exceedingly industrious secre-
tary of the cattle company cut at
Wichita, has not been content with
attempting to play his game on
Buske, of Sedalia, and Pemberton, of
Marshall, but he has crossed the Mis-
sissippi, and angled for suckers right
i'm the heart of Suckerdom. He seems
to have a special tondness for hotel
keepers, as will be observed. by the
following correspondence from Muir
physbOro, ILL.,, which was published
in the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat, this
morning. The letter to that paper
reads:
Mr.. VIM. Muir, the genial manager
of the Lsclede Hotel here, received a
letter purpOrting to be from Charles
b. Williams, Secretary and Treasurer
Southwestern Land and Cattle Com
pany, box 1923, Wichita. Kan, !"
stating that an employee had been
instantly killed by being thrown
from pony; that his name
was not known. but that Mr.. Muir's
name was in his pocket; that sup
posing the young man to be some re-
latiOn of Mr.. Muir's, on receipt of
s4.75, he would send the gold watch
and pistol found on the dead body,
etc.
Accompanying the letter was what
was purported to be a clipping
from some newspaper, but which re-
ally was never any part of a newspa-
per at all, being merely a paragraph
printed by recently discovered pro-
cess on paper bearing other printing
on the reverse side-a trick frequent
ly adopted by parties who wish to
create the impression that certain
matter is cut from a paper, and to
save the cost of printing or paying
for entire newspapers.
Mr.. Muir had read but few days
previous in the GlObe-Democrat that
a lady in Ohio has been swindled by
such letter, and yesterday wrote the
festive "Chas. B. Williams" that he
had a young friend near Wichita ;
that he thanked him for his kindness.
and if he did not reward him the
Lord surely would in the next world
if not in this, and that if he (Williams)
would send the gold watch and pistol
by express G. o. D., he would pay
the bill, if satisfactory.
In to-day's CD. he saw an account
of Working an Old Racket"-the
same swindle--and he hopes that this
publication will save thousands of
others from being swindled, as it has
saved him.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.
A Ten-Year Ola Son of DIR. E. A.
Frazier The Victim.

A little after the noon hour to-day
several boys went in bathing at
Fischer's lake. The lads were How
ard and Walter Frazier, Melville
jackson, and two Smith boys. None
of the party could swim. Howard,
who was ten years old, waded
out into about five and
half feet Of water, and to the entrea-
ties of his companions would not at.
tend. AS he was unable to swim, he
wen: under, and, as usual with people
in such situations, fioundereL around,
swallowed quantities of tine water land
finally went under for the last time.
The terrified boys rushed around for
assistance, and Mr.. j. p. Badly, who
happened in the vicinity, plunged in.
After search of half an hour, he
found the body and brought it to
shore.
1t was carried to the home of his
father, nearly opposite to Sieher's
ice-house, and telegram was sent to
DR.. Frazier who was at Cedarville,
Kansas. No answer has yet been
received.
There will be no inquest and ar
rangements for the funeral will not
be made until DR.. Frazier is heard
from.
DIR. Bronson was called In,
but could do nothing for the boy.
In connection with this sad death, it
might be well,.to say that Mr.. Fischer.
the 'ownerof the lake, has sign-board
eOnspicuOusly posted, warning boys
and others from bathing in the lake.

The fracas occurred in the alley-way,

the excitement of much beverage.

In all diseases Of the nasal mucous

been slow to learn this. Nothing satisfsc-

snufs, powders, syringes, astringents, or
any similar application, because they are
all irritating, do not thoroughly reach the

as worse than failures. A multitude OF

A SEDALIAN
Writes to the BazOO From San
Francisco, Cal.

San Francisco, Cal, May 80 -
Correspondence Often thinking OF
the BAzOo and old friends in Sedalia,

lines. | have not seen copy of your

continually wandering over the wild
west, seeing all there was to be seen,
but have never turned cowboy,
although seeing plenty of
them and also Indians by the
score on the plains of Arizona.
Arizona is not a good farming
country, it is very rough and rocky,
with numerous mines yielding gold
and silver.
Nevada is also wild and unsettled
for the most part, but after leaving
there and crossing into California,
there is found land Of roses and
flowers. Every door yard is filled
with them and even the wild flowers
are abundant and beautiful. But
after all California is not
very densely inhabited. There is a
great deal of wild land and govern.
ment land vet which can be utilized.
1t is very billy and rough, but it is
adapted for fruit raising purposes as
soon as cleared. The climate, as a
general thing, is exceedingly fine, but
in San Francisco they seem to have at
least three seasons in one day. 1t is
cool and spring like in the morning.

when night falls. blankets are

San Francisco is full of life and bust
ness. everything moves in a hurry
wages are good, but | can tell you,
you are obliged to work hard to OBJ
tain them. Although there are many
desperate characters and what is us
ually termed "hard cases" here, yet
the courts deal very linently with
them. A murderer is seldom hung
and the insanity dodge is worked
very successfully. The observance
of the Sabbath, as commanded,
is generally disregarded and
plcnicks, base ball games and balls at
night are the rule. The Cliff House
is a great place of resort for affairs of
this kind-so called from being built
on a pomOntory which overlooks the
ocean. Sam Jones is expected here
some time in June and will probably
give the sinners grand stirring up
having heard him few times | know
his capabilities in this direction. Well,
this is my first letter to paper and |

THE SUNDAY PAPER.

The ministers, Lord bless their SOUS;
Are saints, we all do know IT,
But In a little common sense,
They sometimes fail to show IL.
They do not want their church in pcist,
Lest 1t might bait the sinners.
But tits truth that preachers like
The best of Sunday dinners.
They don't object TO yellow legs
If they belong to chicken;
Tho, oft near sermon time the cook
The chicks demise did quicken.
They like to hear the viops screech
In chOirs, some pster noster,
Although perhaps when Sunday broke.
Its strains the dell did foster.
They think a notice lar above
Plain groceries and 'lasses;
And so lis probable they think
Themselves above the masses.
How di6er'nt did the Master teach.
He holy kept the Sunday;
But plucked the figs, and healed tie sick,
Nor waited till twas Monday.
A steepled church was not enough
To point the way for sinners
In fact a steeple didn't count
Just then for Heaven winners.
But perfect love that cast out fear,
And didn't camels swallow
While straining at a gnst-quite beat
This false religion hollow.
Oh preachers. tune your Tyre to soar
Where angels are the caper;
But 40 not kick against your friend.
The powerful Sunday paper.

Travelled Far to Wed.

When he arrived at mans estate,
Frank Engholf, left Sweden for
America, full of hope and aspirations.
The new land he sought was to
make him his fortune, and when it
did, he would send back to the old
country for his sweetheart, Matilda
Svensen, a bright-eyed, rosy.cheeked
maiden, Of twenty, with whom he had
plighthed his troth, while strolling to-
gether one starlit night in the mellow
autumn of 1881. They parted, as
all lovers do, with vows of constancy,
and Frank, as he traversed miles and
miles of salty sea, remembered the
last kiss he had pressed upon his
darling's lips. And she, with fearful
eyes but with glad heart, because
of its fullness of hope returned to her
household duties, and labored and
waited for the letter which finally
came, five years after her true lover
had left her in the dear old Father
land.
Frank settled in Pettis county,
about FIVE years ago, and has pros
pered, and this morning he met Ma
tilda at the train. The next thing
was the procuring of a license, and
then Probate Judge Bailey pro-
nounced the words which made them
one. The happy young couple re-
ceived many congratulations and
good wishes, especially the young
lady who had travelled so far to be
welded to the man of her choice.
